"Could such an obedient child as Yino possibly be lying to me?"
When Changli uttered these words with clear favoritism in her eyes, Iris knew right then that she never should have harbored any expectations of this woman from the start.
Iris had always thought the Divine Gate acted quite domineeringly in the cultivation world.
But today, encountering Yino and Changli, Iris received a good lesson. She could never hope to bring charges against Yino in Changli's hands because, from the very beginning, Changli had repeatedly stated her stance; this child, I will protect him.
At this moment, Iris realized Changli was serious. In all likelihood, Yino genuinely had some kind of kinship with her.
Thinking of this, Iris let out a slightly bitter, self-deprecating laugh.
"So that's how it is. I understand."
She nodded faintly, the fighting spirit in her eyes extinguished, leaving only submission to the strong.
